Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In June last year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions Southampton, which included the work Emancipation Approximation: Scene 15 by Kara Walker. The »bidding war« ended at USD 15,120.00 (€ 14,442.64), 26% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kara Walker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Negress Notes in May last year with an auction result of USD 529,200.00 (€ 493,150.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions Southampton durch, in der auch die Arbeit Emancipation Approximation: Scene 15 von Kara Walker zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 15.120,00 (€ 14.442,64) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kara Walker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Negress Notes im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 529.200,00 (€ 493.150,68).
